Abilities

The Hammerhead Shark is moderately powerful, and can consume a broad range of prey. It can eat lionfish and other hammerhead sharks in addition to the Mako Shark's diet. The Hammerhead Shark has a decent Bite skill even at level one, consuming most prey in under a second. His diet gives him a chance versus all the common enemies in non-deep areas. The Hammerhead Shark has an extensive boost meter. This enables it to take on the first and second giant crabs with ease, although the third to fourth crabs may be quite a struggle. The Hammerhead's large mouth allows it to swallow large quantities of prey with a single bite, such as numerous fish or stingrays.

Cons

Medium health drain.

Spawns very far away from the center of the map.

Quite expensive to unlock and upgrade.

Levels up slowly.

Helpless on land.

Quite slow compared to the lower level sharks.
